The city seemed strange to her, even { as if she might never have been in it before, and she wondered, in odd per- plexity, how she could walk so long. ) Cars, some of them quite empty, passed her; once she had to stop to let one go by, and before it faded ahead, she realized that she had known all the time that it would have taken her to the very door. At last she reached it, and she was surprised when the door opened, for she could not remember having pushed the bell. The maid, who had known her since and through her childhood, stepped back from her in surprise. But Miss Dimmis did not attempt to resist her mute inquiry—her soft brown hair Wwas snow-shrouded, her deep eyes, bigger than ever and more pleading, cried out for sympathy, her last shred of stamina was going in trying to hold her slim young form erect. “Have they brought him back? he—" Unable to finish it, she smiled pa- thetically, the faint smile of a tired, heart-sick and baffled child. “Poor dear!” would be.

Toll of Black Death. Black ceath became epidemic in Asia and Europe in 1425. In a few years this black death had carried off 23,000,000 persons in Kurope and 85, 000,000 in Asia. In streets and road- ways the dead decayed where they happened to fall. During the 800 years up to this period the plague is esti- mated to have killed more than 990, 000,000 human beings in Europe and Asia.
